Kildare Qualifier Campaign 2012

All-Star Posts : 2572 Join date : 2010-01-31

Here's an in-depth interview with Kieran McGeeney which was in the Examiner today. Talks about the finances, Seanie Johnston and Offaly.

As for the media hype, has that not been there for the past couple of years when Kildare have been rated genuine contenders? I'd say it was there last year. It's a non-issue I'd say. The major task is to treat Offaly like Dublin or Kerry and play them with the same intensity. That's why McGeeney is talking them up. It's as much as message to his players as anything else.

Really good read that Ogie, enjoyed that. The one thing you cannot take away from Keiran McGeeney is his and the players effort to give us that one day to remember for the rest of our lives. The work done on and off the field that no one ever hears about is fantastic. Top man and Top group of lads.

Sorry not been argumentive but thats a bit a far fetched notion pale

Kildare will need to considerable up thier game from early Jan 2012 Rolling Eyes

I will say your side of the draw , I would consider slightly more challanging in comparison to Ours , so the benefit may be drawn from here

I predicted a LF win for ye if there is this improvement , but narrowly if the improvement is achieved Rolling Eyes

Are you on the sauce Eircell?

I was referring to last year's defeat by Dublin in response to a poster claiming that the back door had done Kildare no harm. Don't know where you got the O'Byrne Cup from. Re-read my post.

Thanks lads, glad it went down well but Geezer is one of the more honest, thoughtful and thus easier interviewees.... the book was Moneyball.

Moneyball: The art of winning an unfair game.

Wonder is he trying to say something there.

Any word on the extent of Leper's injury? One of a few players we can ill afford to be without if we're to make waves this summer.

moneyball- wonder will mcgeeney be looking to put together a cheap team like in moneyball could have a midfield with buckley(no one willing to pay him big money because of age) and willie heff(no one has seen his potential yet) Very Happy

He was never in a million years going to get there. Brophy had it covered.

No matter what way you look at it , it was a serious error of judgement by the Kildare management to isolate our most persistent fouler on one of he best forwards in the country in the last minute of a Leinster semi - final...I hope that they learn from this.....

They seemed to have learned from it Tom, that individual seems to have dropped down the pecking order with the arrival of new players this year. A lot more options available for the backline this year compared to that game.

I disagree. I don't see how you can criticise our player when he didn't commit a foul. If you actually look at how Mac has performed in championship over the years he hasn't been too bad and if there's an injury in the full-back line I'd expect to see him in the shake-up.

I think its a bit harsh there Tom, he stopped a certain goal and was playing well. Also the tackle he made on OGara in the first half was as clean as you like and another free was given 20 yards out in front of the posts. If muppets like Cormac OReilly are allowed ref at this level what can you do.
I seem to recall OReilly being the ref against Cavan for that backdoor game in Newbridge and gave about 10 kickable frees to them, most of them for fouls by Macloughlin. I guess he just dosent like his style of defending. He was marking a tricky little corner forward that day though Very Happy

AAHH.... NOOO..... , if you know the game , how could you call a free at 14 all with seconds left in it , its crazy

Are we still going on about this , resigned this to the past , and move on Rolling Eyes

Eoin Doyle is supposed to be flying in training and is pushing hard for a starting place.

Referee for the Offaly match is Padraig O'Sullivan from Kerry, he reffed the this years U21 All Ireland final. Not familiar with him at all.
